Educators at Jesuit schools and universities comprise a significant portion of the more than 1,400 educators at Catholic institutions, ranging from kindergarten through college, who are calling on the Trump administration to protect Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) -- a policy that currently protects from deportation up to 800,000 young immigrants who came to the U.S. as children.

Jesuit college and university leaders across the country have been taking public stands in support of undocumented students since the results of the U.S. presidential election became clear. Earlier this week Fr. Paul Fitzgerald, S.J., president of University of San Francisco, spoke out during an interview with CNN.
